IOS 8.3 wifi DNS broken

I have an iPhone 5S / iPhone 6 Plus / iPad Mini x 2 / IPad (and some Macbook / iMac..)
I recently upgraded the 5S / 6+ to IOS 8.3.
The 5S and 6+ now no longer work on WIFI. They used to work on wifi with IOS 8.2.
I have an TP-Link Archer C7 Wifi Router at home; I upgraded the firmware on this; I have reset the network settings on the phones; I have reset everything on phones; I have restored the phones via iTunes; I have manually entered the Wifi SID rather than selecting the network; I tried entering a static IP address; I tried using the google DNS 8.8.8.8; even tried to revert to IOS 8.2 on the iPhone 5S but it failed and forced me back onto IOS 8.3 - none of these suggestions work - the WIFI no longer works on IOS 8.3.
The WIFI used to work before IOS 8.3. The wifi doesn't work after IOS 8.3 upgrade.
The iPad Mini / iPad remain on IOS8.2 and function on the wifi without problems. IOS 8.2 clearly has more stable wifi than IOS 8.3.
Here is the weird thing - Whilst I say that IOS 8.3 wifi doesn't work, the devices are connecting to the network and receive an IP address. The devices are visible (IP and MAC Address) on the router. My first thought before I started trying everyone else was that the DNS server had an issue - e.g. I have a connection but I cannot browse websites or use my apps when connected to the wifi. This looks like a DNS issue in IOS 8.3 and the way it is resolving addresses.
I can browse directly to IP addresses.
Any suggestions for resolving this issue, or those with similar symptoms would be most welcome.

Just wanted to provide an update - The iPhone 6+ sprang to life again... weird. However, the 5S is still not working. I have identified that if I set the 6+ up as a hotspot for the 5S that the internet will work. I also have access to cellular data 3G / 4G.
Also, whilst I thought I had completed a full restore I have repeated and 'setup as a new phone' to rule out conflict of apps causing the issue;
The setup still cannot resolve internet address, however I can browse via IP address...
This is apparently a software fault with the DNS in IOS 8.3.
My next step is to rule out incompatibility with the router - I have a BT Homehub 3, 4, and a Time Capsule to test against.... surely this will work with an Apple Time Capsule...

TS4062 IOS 7 itunes wifi sync broken

I for the life of me cannot get iTunes wifi sync to work with any of the five devices I have. What is odd is that itunes just closes out the connection:

I've gone through a bunch of other articles, rebooted routers, rebooted phones, shut down firewalls, etc... nothing has worked? Any ideas?
Mac is running Maverics. All devices are 7.0.4. Two iphones(4 and 5), and three ipads(4,2,mini).
Cabling them up works fine. As soon as I disconnect the cable, they disappear from iTunes. It has been doing this for a little bit and is now getting to the bubbling over point for me.

Same thing with me. iTunes 11.1.4 and Mavericks 10.9.1 - iTunes does not see my iOS 7.0.4 devices (two iPad Airs and one iPhone 5), but DOES see my old iPod Touch (iOS 5.1.1) without any problem.
I've done all the recommended troubleshooting for wi-fi syncing, to no avail. The suggestion for new Locations (plastered by G3R3N through similar threads) is unsuccessful, and I rate as 'voodoo' because iTunes sees the iOS 5 device on the same network as the iOS 7 devices it doesn't see!
I don't want to speculate it is a factor in this bug, but my computer's name has an apostrophe in it (e.g. "Beamerboy's iMac") which is removed in the network name (i.e. "Beamerboys-iMac.local"). I also do the same thing with my iOS devices (e.g. "Beamerboy's iPhone/iPod/iPad, etc.). This has never been a problem for my Apple devices on my network, though I know it can freak out less sophisticated software.
Thanks for the heads up about the efforts at troubleshooting, booleanman; I'll just wait/hope for a fix, and do wired iTunes syncs, rather than waste months with AppleCare support.

Ios 6, my wifi doesnt work, even after switching wifi on and off, aswell as removing saved wifi spots and switching from manual to auto

Try:

Or:
Settings>>Privacity, be sure the Location Service is turn on;
Or:
In Settings>>General>>Reset, select "Reset all Adjusts". (Sorry, but it will change some personal adjustments, but will not delete anything at all)

My iPod touch froze while updating to iOS 6 over wifi, what do i do?

I started updating my ipod to iOS 6 over wifi, and it just froze part of the way in to the update, and I am unable to connect to my iTunes account right now.

Looks like you need to put your device into DFU mode:
To put the device in DFU mode, connect the device to iTunes and hold both the power button and the home button down, after 10 seconds, release the power button but leave the home button pressed until it goes into DFU mode. iTunes should then recognize that the device has entered DFU mode and ask to restore.
I hope that helps.

My IPAD2 failed to download ios 8 via wifi and itunes

I tried to download IOS 8 via wifi and I got an error message that the download failed. I tried to download via ITunes and got the error message network failure. I did this numerous times both ways. My Iphone 5S downloaded fine via wifi.

I have similar problem on an iPad. I have FIOS with 83 meg download speeds. According to apple my download will take 32 hours. They are having a problem and are not addressing it. This is the third day I have been getting this problem. How do we get apple to tell us what is going on. I am willing to cooperate but need to know what to do.

Can I download iOS 5 via WiFi?

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Why did I update my ios 6 through wifi only for it to ask me to connect to itunes and now its making me restore it? Will I lose everything?

It's in recovery mode. You don't have a choice. Anything that was on the phone is already gone. If you didn't back it up, there is no way to recover it.

I'm trying to reset my iPhone 4S but I have no internet as my wifi has broken and I have no data left, I have tried connecting to a computer which did not work any help would be grateful thanks

A reset has nothing to do with Internet access or data access.
A reset is simply pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears.
What are you really trying to do?

With iOS 6 my wifi wont stay connected until I unlock the phone.

With iOS 6 my wifi wont stay connected until I unlock the phone, thus meaning find my iPhone and nothing else works, unless you actually find the phone, is it just my phone? Sometimes it does that with 3G and other times it doesnt, but the wifi always does it and its really starting to tick me off...help please!
Thanks!

I call the vodafone (portugal) carrier and they say the problem is the ios6

How much free space is needed to update an iPhone to iOS 6 using WiFi?

I have an iPhone 4 and want to know how much free space is necessary to update to iOS 6 using WiFi (not through a computer). I updated another iPhone with a MacBook Pro and it stated that I needed 2.5 GB of free space. My son has the other iPhone and he has to update via WiFi.
thanks

I think it might be different depending on what version you're running at the moment.
I upgraded my iPhone 4 with 5.1.1 to iOS 6 and it was about a 800 MB download by WiFi.

I have an iphone 4.my wifi was working fine on ios 6.1.3.but since i upgraded to ios 7 ,the wifi randomy disconnects,then connects ,then disconnects again and again???

On the chance that you are saying that you can't turn on WiFi then try the suggestions here to see if they resolve your problem:

If these don't work you may have a hardware problem. Visit an Apple store for an evaluation or contact Apple Support.

Wifi calling broken after update to ios 8.1

Hi,
after I updated my iPhone 6 to ios 8.1 IO cannot enable the wifi calling option anymore. I'm getting the T-mobile icon and and error message "Sorry, your request could not be completed. Please try again later."
Could somebody please help me with this?
Thanks
Fred

I read theT Mobile reply. It sort of gives answer. The issue is that 8.1 requires that you have an E911 address that is same as WiFi site. Your T mobile network validates the address and only then allows WiFi calling. I assume it is a safety feature that Tmobile has not made clear. I wasted a lot of time with unnecessary network resets before gleaning from response the real goal. You cannot just have an E911 address. It has to be current each time you access a new WiFi site.
